Dear Brent and List:I will look into this on a couple of my VM builds to see what would happen.  In regards to your external drive, I don't have any answer on that but am surveying the forum lists as we speak to see if anything pops up.
All I can say is that on my test machine I have it dual booting from a Debian Server / XP Box.  I have two USB drives connected and when I did the unattended backup on my VM workstation first to see what would happen, it did not recognize any of these partitions.  So practice is one thing and your production unit is another.
If i find anything I will let you and the list know.
Sincerely,

Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] NLite with JFW

OK, I haven't tried System Access to go, as it may
work properly. The main idea works if you use something like easyvmx.com to
configure an empty VMWare setup and use player to install it. It will probably
complain about activation in 30 days as I just wanted to test the disk's
functionality that way so I don't make my machine useless until I get a sighted
person to finish it. Will I need to physically unplug my external drive I use
for backup of my data and downloads so unattended doesn't reformat it? I can't
seem to find the winnt.cif file that NLite created to tell what it will really
do to maybe tweak it a little.

Yep, NLite is your friend. The only trouble with
it is how to remove stuff you don't want installed, JFW doesn't speak the
state of the items in the list, checked or unchecked. My system might need a
reformat pretty soon, I just wonder how to best get my drivers in to the
install disk so I have working sound.

   Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Unattended XP

   Hi Folks,

   I've created several of these in
   the past.

   I'm getting a bit lost with Nero
   v7 though.

   When you get to the point when
   you copy your XP disc files to the ISO Panel?

   What ISO Panel?

   I've attached the file I've
   always worked from.

   I'm stuck at the section
   reading,

   "
   Locate the
   folder C:\XP\CD-ROOT

   Select
   everything in the folder and copy it to the ISO compilation
   panel."

   This is on page
   4.  The UI's changed that much in v5 I'm getting a bit
   lost.

   Anyone help or
   even poitn me to instructions on how to do this using Nero
   7?

   A brief google
   yealded nothing useful.

   Thanks,
   Barry.

You can slipstream your sound drivers using the instructions from the file I attached in my initial email.

IMHO a better investment is a generic USB soundcard.

That way XP will have plug-in play drivers and you can have sound at startup regardless of sound configuration and what machine your using.
